Hi Guys,
I`ve read a lot of the forum, but a lot of your posts either refer to the use of the electric buffer or compounds I am not able to get over here.
I`ve got a problem with swirl marks. The car recently had some paint work done by a garage, after an insurance claim over a dented bumper (fender). I didnt get chance to wash the car before it went to the dealership for a service. Whilst it was there, they washed it, so I am now left with a car that is covered in swirl marks and I dont know if it is the dealership or the people who did the painting who are responsible. Neither are admitting it was them, so I need to fix it myself.
I am willing to have a go and do it by hand.
I`ve taken a photo of various cleaning / polishing products I have aquired over the years. Some was for older cars, I even aquired some machine cutting compund, although I dont know why. !
As you can see, I`ve got quite a lot of Zaino stuff, Z2Pro, Z5, Z6 and Z8 Grand Finale. I imported that myself from the US. Usually my car is kept spotless, so I`m gutted at the moment, but these marks are not what I`ve ever dealt with before.
The T-Cut and T-Cut Colour Fast are from a previous black Car I had when I didnt know a great deal about car care.
The marks on the bonnet (hood) are probably after the insurnace work, to machine rub a mark out of the paint, the other swirl marks, i`m not sure..
I tried a little of the T-Cut Colour Fast and T-Cut, but they end up with swirl marks too. ie, if I T-Cut vertically, I then end up with new swirl marks running vertically. I`m guessing they are not deep but they are damn annoying
They also only show up in bright sunlight.
Anyway, here is the car:
